Lesson 3: Arrangement of Output
Overview
The 'A' in TEACH stands for Arrangement of Output. This lesson focuses on how to structure and organize the AI's response to make it more useful and easier to understand.
Learning Objectives
- Understand different ways to structure AI outputs
- Learn how to specify output formats and organization
- Practice creating prompts that generate well-organized content
- Develop strategies for improving output readability
Key Concepts
When arranging output:
- Use clear section headings and subheadings
- Organize content in a logical sequence
- Specify formatting (bullets, numbers, tables, etc.)
- Include visual hierarchy in the output
- Consider the end-user's needs and preferences
Examples
Example 1: Structured Lesson Plan
"Create a lesson plan with the following sections: 1) Title and Grade Level, 2) Learning Objectives (3 bullet points), 3) Materials (bulleted list), 4) Procedure (numbered steps), 5) Assessment (2-3 methods). Use clear headings and subheadings."
This prompt specifies a clear structure with different formatting for each section.
Example 2: Organized Study Guide
"Generate a study guide for the American Revolution. Organize it into: Key Events (timeline), Important People (table with name, role, significance), Key Concepts (bulleted list with brief explanations), and Review Questions (numbered list)."
This prompt uses different formats (timeline, table, lists) to organize information effectively.
Practice Activity
Create a prompt that generates a well-organized educational resource. Make sure your prompt includes:
- Clear section headings
- Specific formatting for each section
- Logical organization of content
- Consideration of readability

This is a safe environment to practice your prompting skills. Try crafting a prompt based on what you've learned. Your prompt and the response will be saved for your reference and to help improve this course.
Reflection Questions
- How does output arrangement affect the usability of AI-generated content?
- What are some effective ways to structure different types of educational materials?
- How can you ensure the output format matches your teaching style and students' needs?
